“In that case, we’ll excuse ourselves, Mr. Connor.”The doctor passed the test slip to Zachary cautiously before bowing deeply and turning to leave.Charlotte pulled him back. “Doctor, have you made a mistake? Lorraine and Zachary didn’t… She can’t possibly be having his child. This result is simply impossible!”The doctor looked helpless. “Ms. Simmons, I’ve done more than 70,000 DNA tests here and I’ve never made a mistake. Besides, this is for Mr. Connor. I was even more careful and made sure each step carried out was accurate. With all due responsibility, I’m telling you that there’s nothing wrong with the result.”Another doctor nodded.“Ms. Simmons, even if we dared make a mistake, we wouldn’t make one when it comes to Mr. Connor. Don’t worry, the result is certainly accurate.”Charlotte was at a loss for words.That was true! Anyone who dared tamper with intimidating Zachary Connor’s DNA test would be suicidal. Besides, this was his hospital. The result could not be wrong—
Zachary turned back, his gaze looking distant. “Fulfilling my wife’s wish is my duty. Yours has nothing to do with me. Whatever wish you have to fulfill, don’t come to me to do it.”Upon saying that, he spread his long legs to leave.It felt like Zachary was treating her like trash. Lorraine felt like she had been thrown into a trash can. Heartbroken, she stared at Zachary and replied, “Sure, Zachary. I won’t make it hard for you if you’re reluctant to fulfill my wish, but you should at least give me back the pride I lost just so you could placate your wife!”Zachary scoffed. “Name your price. I’ll pay as long as it’s reasonable.”What! As if she had been struck by thunder, Lorraine’s petite form trembled.“You think I’m asking you for money? What kind of person do you think I am!”Zachary was unaffected by Lorraine’s anguish, and his voice remained aloof and graceful as a mountain stream.“What do you want then?”As she sucked in a pained breath, Lorraine’s voice quivered. “I
She had nothing to worry about. After all, there was no doubt that she was carrying Zachary’s child.Zachary, who was sitting alongside her, looked completely indifferent and unruffled.He trusted Charlotte blindly.This DNA test was simply meant to pacify Lorraine and prevent her from making a fuss.Lucas sat next to them too, casually enjoying his drink.Then, the doctor approached Zachary with the results in his hand. “Mr. Connor, we have the results.”“Mm,” Zachary answered calmly. He helped Charlotte to her feet and walked to the door.Charlotte calmly followed him.Having a paternity test was simply a waste of time. She was getting impatient. Now, the result was out, and it was time for her to leave.“But… Mr. Connor, I haven’t announced the result…” The doctor’s sad voice rang out behind them.Zachary continued walking ahead, refusing to turn around.“I know the result. I don’t need to hear it. All you need to do is tell my aunt, Miss Larson.”‘My aunt… Miss Larson
Zachary shot the doctor an icy glare as he coolly curled the corners of his perfect lips.“Be honest and tell me the identity of the person who made you falsify the results and I might spare your life.”The doctor’s knees buckled from fright. He nearly fell on his knees before Zachary.“Mr. Connor, you’ve got it all wrong. I did not fake the results. I swear on my family. If I had the nerve to lie to you, my entire family would be exterminated!”Zachary’s eyes turned even colder. “You said it yourself. When I kill you and your entire family, don’t come crying to me.”Even though he felt certain of his convictions, the sight of Zachary's apocalyptic gaze still scared the doctor out of his wits.“A word of warning. The person who asked you to hurt my wife, whoever she may be, won’t be shown any mercy once I’ve personally received the results,” he declared icily before he inadvertently shot Lorraine a look.It was only a quick glance, but his eyes seemed sharper than a knife to Lor
“You’re still acting.”Zachary's Adam's apple bobbed up and down in his throat. His voice was deep and hoarse, exhausted and weary.“Whose baby is this?”‘What?’Charlotte’s mind went blank, as if she had received a hard blow on her head.It took her three seconds to calm down before she found her voice again.“Is that even a question? I’m carrying your baby. You’re the father of this child…”Zachary’s lips trembled. His thin lips gaped, but he could not say a word. Only his eyes glared at her, icily, sharply, full of hurt…Charlotte panicked even more when she saw the look in his eyes. She looked at the results in Zachary’s hand with a tremble.“Zachary, you can’t trust this result. You have to believe me. You had so much faith in me a while ago, didn’t you? Something must be wrong with these results. Maybe… Maybe we can do another test? One more test! Surely, there won’t be any mistakes!”“Have you always acted so pure and innocent in front of me?”Zachary’s cold voice was
However, Charlotte was past the point of caring now. She determinedly turned her face away from Zachary’s gaze, turned around, and left.“Where are you going?”Zachary’s voice rang out from the back, deep, hoarse, and fragmented…Charlotte lifted her face and forced the corners of her lips into an arrogant smirk, concealing her deep disappointment. “Aren’t you saying that the baby in my belly is another man’s child? I’m going to see him and make him take responsibility for our baby.”“Charlotte Simmons!” Zachary howled tragically like a wounded animal.He rushed to stop her in a second. His large hand grabbed Charlotte’s throat.“Ugh…” Charlotte couldn’t breathe, and her fair skin instantly turned red.She was suffocating! She was suffocating horribly!Nevertheless, she didn’t feel any pain. Instead, she stared calmly into his icy yet perfect, charming face. His frosted pupils bore down on her, filled with hatred and disgust. The sight of his gaze caused her heart to wither, an
Charlotte’s mind was consumed by concern for Zachary as she eyed the firmly shut door. “Luke, I will explain this misunderstanding to you later. Let me in. I need to see him.”“No!” This was the first time Lucas, who was always smiling and cheery around Charlotte, treated her so coldly.“The Second Master doesn’t want to see you. He’s specifically asked me to guard the door to keep you out!”The tips of Charlotte’s fingers trembled. “But Zachary vomited blood. Is he badly hurt? Is his life in danger?”“Don’t worry. The Second Master is perfectly healthy. He may have suffered some internal injuries due to being infuriated by a certain someone and vomited blood, but that’s not enough to kill him. He’ll be fine in a few days…” Lucas sneered, looking at Charlotte’s face in disdain. “However, now that you’ve mentioned it, Miss Simmons, are you really concerned for the Second Master’s survival? Or are you just pretending like you always have so that the Second Master will think that ev
At the emergency room...“Mr. Connor, although your physical condition has been great, after encountering such a health condition, you must always remember to never get so agitated no matter what happens in the future. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.” The doctor was worried and confused as he looked at Zachary, who was lying on the hospital bed.Which citizen of Rothesay did not know that Mr. Connor was a cold and indifferent man? Extracting any emotion out of him had always been a rather difficult task, let alone provoking him!‘Who has such an ability to frustrate Mr. Connor to an extent which could make him suffer from hematosis!?’Zachary’s face was expressionless, and his eyes were as gloomy as the center of a whirlpool.“Besides that, Mr. Connor, you have to rest more, and remember to take the medicine that I’ve prescribed for you, and—”“That’s enough!” Zachary interrupted the doctor coldly. “Get out!”The doctor was shocked and left speechless due to his domineer
